So, it's been a while since I've written -- or been on the site, really. And, I wanted to give a small status update for anyone who wants to know.

While I'm still planning on adding an epilogue chapter, or two, to "Do Blooms Come From Apples" to try to clear up a few vague points in the story, as well as give Apple Bloom and Applejack some spotlight, I've not been able to work on it recently. That goes double for making a story outline to help me finish "Rebuilding a Crusade".

So, a while ago I saw a post on one of the forums (unfortunately I cannot find the original post). In the post, the idea comes up that Scootaloo is both a dragon, and Spike's sister (but they don't know it).

Now, If someone has seen a story like this, or they are interested in writing it on commission. Please let me know.

In the meantime, I have taken a stab at a portion of the story, and have posted it below.

So, I find myself laying awake tonight with a slight case of insomnia... Needless to say, I have decided to take a moment and look back at what I have written already... Or more specifically, what led me to make Scootaloo's parents the way they are in Rebuilding a Crusade.

I've been meaning to work on my understanding of literary basics. And to this intent, I wanted to try to write a Story review. And the story I want to review is Molten Gold on a Spring Evening by coleisfantastic.

Before I proceed, let me warn anyone reading this blog post: this review will have spoilers.

Well, I've been writing and re-writing my current chapter of "rebuilding a crusade" (I'm hopefully about 2/3 of the way to the next chapter.) In the mean time I found a couple of amusing videos by the inventive mind of ConspiraPon3, which inspired me to write the story vignette below (it's not long enough to be a story, but I thought it was an amusing idea to write about... And a story idea that maybe somebody will write).
